My job, if elected, would be to help the book store with its responsiveness to the students. Hopefully my experience with other businesses will help me accomplish this. Personally I have an interest in getting to know the workings of the bookstore. The bookstore is unlike any other business as it is student owned and run. 1 find this oppor tunity to help run this business an especially intriguing one. Statement not submitted: Gary Contantine Harry Ricks Barbara Lyman One position for two year term Steve Baker The University of Oregon Bookstore is a nonprofit student oriented corporation. Its purpose is to meet student needs at the lowest possible cost to students. Last year, this supposedly nonprofit organization profited approximately S83,000. As representative of the students, it is the Board of Directors’ responsibility to see that these profits are returned to the students. I believe one of the most direct ways to ac complish this is to increase discounts on Bookstore products, such as textbooks and other school supplies. Being a full-time student and an employee of the Bookstore, I have developed a well rounded understanding of how this or ganization functions. I would greatly appreciate vour vote this week. I Sopho ITIOrC Two positions to serve two year terms Mike David Every student at this university spends on an average between J50 and 5100 a term on text books. The continued discount of these books, currently 11%, is an issue I’m very concerned about. Keeping costs down for students in all areas of the bookstore is something 1 want to continually pursue. The University of Oregon Bookstore, Inc. is a non-profit organization formed to serve the students and faculty of this university. It’s very important that this cor poration receive good, knowledgeable management in ordert to keep its prices as low as possible while still keeping the book store financially solvent. As a business major, concentrating on marketing, I feel I have considerable management skills and the abilities to work with the board of directors in keeping student costs at a minimum. I feel I can obtain good corporate experience and add to the board an opinion representative of student needs. Because prices affect us all, I ask that you vote May 9, 10 and 11 in the bookstore general elections. William Orkin One of the main issues facing the University of Oregon Bookstore is the problem of how to reduce the costs of text books to the student body. Currently, the Bookstore gives students an 11% discount on textbooks. I fed that one solution to this problem would be to make use of the Bookstore's current excess profits by extending the student discount rate even further. Although the Bookstore needs a certain amount of profit to act as working capital, 1 think it would be in the best interest to a minimum in order to extend the student discount rate on textbooks. I feel that the qualifications necessary to handle the problems faced by the bookstore include having previous retail experience and a strong academic knowledge of business and accounting. I believe I meet these qualifications by having worked as an assis tant manager of a retail clothing store ami by earning a 3.5 in my business courses. Statement not submitted: Tricia Sewell Sharon Gitelson Kent Laverty Faculty One position for a two year term Robert Lang The Bookstore is your Bookstore so get involved and help make it better. uo BOOKSTORE 13th & Kincaid 686-4331 Open: Mon-Fri 8:15-5:30 Sat 10:00-2:00 Page 12 Section A Graduate Student Hal Darst The Bookstore thus far has shown itself to be by far the most progressive business in the college community. Besides providing efficient services and some lowered costs, it was quick to act in divesting itself of any connection to South African investments. This should be continued. Besides the usual rhetoric about improv ing efficiency, lowering costs, etc., what I would like to see are: • a review of the hiring policy and greater efforts in Affirmative Action hirings, par ticularly with respect to minority and foreign students. Presently there are only two minorities of a total 80 employees. This is Two posit ioas: one to serve a one year term and one to serve a two year term. particularly important in that vna restric tion** and other constraints leave only the bookstore and the EMU cafeteria as the main potential employers of foreign students. Smce Gov. Atiyeh is working to make financing even more difficult for those people bringing different cultures to the campus, the issue is of major concern • a creation of a bookstore fund to aid community area groups that have no ongo ing income stream yet provide a valuable service to the community. • increasing the participation of employees in the determination of Bookstore policy and priorities. statement not submitted: Loren Alien Mary Sandell Bill Piels Gar)' McMahon i would like to underscore the importance of the students’ input into the policy decisions made by the board that are handed down to the students in the form of keeping textbook price increases to a minimum, increasing service and convenience and con tinually searching for ways to keep the bookstore from being out of reach of the students. In addition to these issues I would also favor increased student input into the board's decisions and would work toward this goal in a serious and responsible manner. Student polls at the bookstore during the first week of school arc an obvious method of obtaining this increased input. I have gone through many of the same hassles involved in university life as everyone else. However, as chairman of the Student University Affairs Board the past year, I have had an excellent opportunity to gain experience in student representation, in ad dition to obtaining very comprehensive knowledge of the sometimes complex workings of this University. In addition I have had the advantageous opportunity of serving as an ASUO representative to the Board of Directors of the Oregon Daily Emerald. Once again I would like to encourage students to vote for responsible representa tives at your bookstore. Andy Vandermolcn We need more consumer orientated people on the Bookstore Board of Directors. 1 feel our nonprofit Bookstore should not have shown the S100,000 annual profit it has shown for each of the last four years. We can reduce this excess profit by: 1. paying students more for used books, 2- lowering the profit margin on supplies, 3. increasing the textbook discount. These moves would return the excess profit hack to the students, students. As most students know this year the Bookstore divested its holdings in companies supporting the government of South Africa. What many students do not know is that the Bookstore has accounts with the U.S. Na tional Bank of Oregon, a bank that owns shares in the funding corporation that makes loam to the South African government. I believe the Bookstore should move its ac counts to another bank until U.S. National sells its South African stock. The Bookstore is for the students. As a member of the Board of Directors, my priorities would be to move the Bookstore bank accounts and see that excess profits are returned to the student.
